A solid fat is a fat havinga melting point of 20 □ or higher, and a liquid oil is an oil having amelting point of less than 20 □.

Shea fat means the fat content and the extracts and contents containedtherein from the embroidery of the seed of Shea trees (ButyrospermumParkii family). Shea fat has butter-like properties. Therefore, shea fatis also called shea butter. Shea fat, which is solid at ambienttemperatures, has a low melting point of about 35 to 45 □. As the sheafat of the present invention, not only shea fat in a narrow sense butalso an extract or an oil or other material extracted from a shea treemay be contained.

Further, the wax component 3 may contain a solid fat other than sheafat. Examples of solid fats are vegetable fats, animal-derived fats,waxes, hydrocarbon oils, higher fatty acids, and higher alcohols. Thewax component may include one kind of solid fat. Further, the waxcomponent may contain two or more kinds of solid fats.

Examples of vegetable solid fats are shea fat, cocoa butter, mango seedfat, and vegetable waxes. Examples of vegetable waxes are carnauba wax,ouricury wax, palm wax, candelilla wax, sugar cane wax, cotton wax, flaxwax, okochira wax, pisang wax, and esparto wax.

Examples of animal-derived fats are beef tallow, sheep tallow, horse fatand lard. Examples of waxes are beeswax, bead wax, in addition to thevegetable waxes described above. Examples of hydrocarbon oils arepetrolatum and polyolefins. Examples of higher fatty acids are palmiticacid, stearic acid, myristic acid, behenic acid, lauric acid, myristicacid, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexahydrochloric acid. An exampleof a higher alcohol is octyldodecanol.

The content of the solid fat is 40 wt. % or more, preferably 50 wt. % ormore, and further preferably 60 wt. % or more.

Liquid oil means oils and fats which are in a liquid state at ambienttemperatures (20 □).

Examples of liquid oils are vegetable oils, animal oils, hydrocarbonoils, higher fatty acids, higher alcohols, silicone oils, esters, andglycerins. The wax component 3 may contain two or more kinds of liquidoils. The wax component 3 preferably contains 15 wt. % or more and 40wt. % or less of a liquid oil. The lower limit value of the content ofthe liquid oil is more preferably 20 wt. % or more. The upper limitvalue is more preferably 35 wt. % or less, and further preferably 30 wt.% or less.

Examples of animal oils are egg yolk oil and mink oil. Examples ofhydrocarbon oils are liquid paraffin, squalene, and squalane. Examplesof higher fatty acids are oleic acid, tall oil, and isostearic acid.Examples of higher alcohols are lauryl alcohol, oleyl alcohol,isostearyl alcohol, and octyldodecanol. Examples of silicone oils aremethylpolysiloxane, methylphenylpolysiloxane,methylhydrogenpolysiloxane, and decamethylpolysiloxane. Examples ofesters are isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, hexyl laurate,oleyl oleate, decyl oleate, octyldodecyl myristate, hexyldecyl dimethyloctanoate, diethyl phthalate, and dibutyl phthalate. Examples ofglycerins include one or two or more of glycerins such as glycerin,diglycerin, triglycerin, glycerin trioctanoate, and glycerintriisopalmitate.

Among the liquid oils, palm oil is suitable. When the wax componentcontains palm oil, the oil when the wax component is dissolved becomessmooth and easily extended. As the liquid oil, the liquid oil containingpalm oil and vegetable oil other than palm oil is preferably used.

The melting point of the wax component 3 is 30 □ or more and 60 □ orless. The lower limit is preferably 35 □ or more. The upper limit ispreferably 55 □ or less, more preferably 50 □ or less. By adjusting thetype and blending ratio of the solid fat and the liquid oil, the meltingpoint of the wax component 3 can be adjusted. For example, by adding ahigher fatty acid having a melting point of 50 □ or more, it is possibleto increase the melting point of the wax component.

The wax component 3 may contain other ingredients. Other ingredientsinclude, for example, cannabidiol, thickeners, essential oils,nutritional ingredients, and the like.

Cannabidiol is a compound shown in the following chemical formula (1).By adding cannabidiol, the effect of the present invention of relievingpain can be further exhibited.

The content of cannabidiol in the wax component is not particularlylimited, but is preferably 0.001 to 30 wt. %. As the lower limit, morepreferably 0.01 wt. % or more, further preferably 0.1 wt. % or more, andparticularly preferably 0.3 wt. % or more. As the upper limit, morepreferably 10 wt. % or less, further preferably 5 wt. % or less, andparticularly preferably 3 wt. % or less.

The wax component 3 preferably contains 2 wt. % or more and 15 wt. % orless of a thickener. When the thickener is added to the wax component 3,the composition can be effectively produced by using the solid fat andthe liquid oil. An example of a thickener is silicic anhydride. As thesilicic anhydride, silylated silicic anhydride is preferred.

The wax component 3 may further contain essential oils. Essential oilsare volatile oils obtained from plants. By adding essential oils, thecandle for massage of the present invention also exhibits anaromatherapy effect. As the essential oil, known materials already knownin the art can be appropriately used. Examples of essential oils areAngelica, Benzoin, Oregano, Orange, Chamomile, Kayupte, Galvanum,Clarisage, Grapefruit, Grapefruit peel, Cypress (Italian cypress),Sandalwood, Ceder wood, Citronella, Cinnamon, Jasmine, Juniper berry,Ginger, Spike lavender, Spearmint, Sage, Geranium, Thyme, Tangerine, Teatree, Nutmeg, Frankincense, Neroli, Pine, Basil, Patchouli, Verbena,Rose, Palmarosa, Bitter orange flower, Fennel, Petitgrain, Vetiver,Peppermint, Bergamot, marjoram, mandarin orange peel, melissa leaves(Lemon balm), eucalyptus, lavandin, lavender, lemon, lemongrass,rosewood, rosemary, and Roman chamomile and the like. The wax componentmay contain only one type of essential oil. Further, the wax componentmay contain two or more kinds of essential oils. Examples of the contentof the essential oil are 0.001 wt. % or more and 10 wt. % or less,preferably 0.003 wt. % or more and 5 wt. % or less, and particularlypreferably 0.1 wt. % or more and 3 wt. % or less.

The wax component may contain nutritional ingredients to the skin.Examples of nutritional ingredients include trehalose and vitamins.Since trehalose has a moisturizing effect and a damage recovery effect,it is preferable that the wax component contains trehalose.

As the wick 4, a normal wick used for candles can be used. Preferably,the wick 4 has a portion which is inserted into the wax component 3 anda portion which protrudes from the wax component 3. By applying a fireto the tip of the wick 4 protruding from the wax component 3, heat canbe transferred to the wax component and the wax component can be melted.The wick 4 may be rod-shaped. When the wick 4 is rod-shaped, thediameter of the wick 4 is 1 mm or more and 3 mm or less, possibly 1.5 mmor more and 2.5 mm or less.

By modifying and using a method for producing a candle already known,the candle for massage of the present invention can be produced. Forexample, first, the solid fat is heated to a liquid. Then, liquid oiland other ingredients are added and stirred. Thus, a compositionconstituting a wax component can be obtained. The composition for thewax component is filled into a container while remaining in a liquidstate. Thereafter, the wick is set. When the wax component of the liquidis cooled, the wax component solidifies. In this way, the candle formassage of the present invention can be produced.

A second aspect of the present invention relates to a method ofobtaining an oil for massage. This method is basically a method ofobtaining the oil using the candle for massage of the present invention.The method includes a step of providing the candle for massage, a stepof igniting the wick, and a step of liquefying the wax component by thefire applied to the wick. This makes it possible to obtain the oil formassage at an appropriate temperature. In the step of liquefying the waxcomponent, the liquefaction of the wax component means a state in whichthe wax component in an amount that can be used for massage isliquefied. The time for the wax component to liquefy varies with thecomposition of the wax component. Examples of the time for liquefyingthe wax component is one second or more and one minute or less, andpreferably five seconds or more and thirty seconds or less.

Upon ignition of the wick, the heat of the flame melts the wax componentbelow the wick. Because the candle for massage of the present inventionhas a lower melting point than a conventional candle, melted oilaccumulates at the top of the wax component.

As a method of obtaining a liquefied oil, a method of dissolving a waxusing a hot water helix (hot water bath) is conceivable. However, whenthe wax is indirectly heated by using a hot water bath, the oil obtainedby liquefying the wax is easily cooled. Therefore, in the case of usinga hot water bath, the appropriate temperature cannot be maintained for along time, and therefore, the treatment effect cannot be sufficientlyobtained.

On the other hand, in the method using the candle of the presentinvention, the wick is applied a fire to make the candle liquid. The oilobtained for this purpose can be maintained at a temperature of 38° C.or more and 42° C. or less, which is suitable for massage, for a longtime. This method using candles does not consume more candles thannecessary because the candles are oiled to an amount just optimal formassage. Further, since the temperature of the oil is an appropriatetemperature, a situation in which the essential oil volatilizes can beprevented to a minimum. Also, since the portion to be heated is not theentire candle, deterioration of the component due to warming (e.g.,oxidation) can be minimized. In the appropriate temperature state, theoil smoothly expands, which makes it easier for the practitioner toperform the treatment, thereby improving the treatment efficiency. Thus,these active ingredients can be rapidly absorbed into the blood, and theactive ingredient can be effectively utilized. In addition, comfort dueto a pleasant temperature can be given to the person who is treated themassage, and the massage effect can be enhanced by quickly andeffectively exhibiting the performance of the active ingredient.

The third aspect of the present invention relates to a massage methodfor beauty using the oil for massage of the present invention. Thismethod includes a step of liquefying a candle for massage of the presentinvention to obtain a liquid oil; and a step of performing massage usingliquid oil.

Since this massage method uses a candle for massage of a novel form, anexpectation sense and a sense of luxury are enhanced. In addition, theflame provides a visual effect that makes the person who is treated themassage more relaxed. If the wax components contain perfumes, the effectof aromatherapy can also be given.

In the step of performing the massage, the oil for massage may bedirectly poured on the skin of the person to be treated. Massage oil mayalso be poured in the practitioner's hand and used. The temperature ofthe oil is basically the melting point of the wax component. Before thewax component is all melted, they do not go above the melting point. Inthe step of performing the massage, the oil for massage may be directlypoured on the skin of the person to be treated. The oil for massage mayalso be poured in the practitioner's hand and used. The temperature ofthe oil is basically the melting point of the wax component. Before thewax component are all melted, they do not go above the melting point.The oil for massage is preferably at a temperature that does not burnand that the massager feels warm. The specific temperature of themassage oil is 35° C. or more and 45° C. or less, and preferably 37° C.or more and 42° C. or less.

The step of performing massage preferably includes a step of performingmassage along the Langer line. The Langer line is a trace of the cellmembrane produced by the process of cell division. The running of theLanger Line (the direction of the layer that forms the Langer Line) isalso similar to the running of the fibrous (collagen fibers) in thereticular layer of the dermis of the skin. Therefore, massage along theLanger line can prevent a situation in which an excessive force isapplied to the skin, so that it is difficult to cause wrinkles of theskin (epidermis and dermis), and it is possible to promote thecirculatory system such as blood vessels and lymphatic vessels denselyclustered in the reticular layer. Also, the rapid prevalence ofessential oils masked by warm oils throughout the body can provide avery high massage effect.

EXAMPLES

[Preparation of Candles for Massage]

Table 1 shows the composition in Examples and Comparative Examples. As acomparative example, conventional candles (high melting point), andthose having a low melting point were also produced. As silicicanhydride, those subjected to silylation treatment were used.

The shea fat and the liquid oil or solid fat (oil or fat) other thanpalm oil used in each of the examples are as follows.

Example 2: Coconut oil mixed with aloe vera leaf extract

Example 3: Mango seed fat

Example 4: Hydrogenated soybean oil

Example 5: A mixture of almond oil and hydrogenated vegetable oil

Example 6: Carapa guaianensis Seed Oil

Example 7: Cocoa butter

Note that the term “oil” described above also includes a solid fat.Various perfumes were added to these Examples and Comparative Examples.The amount of perfume added was several hundred ppm.

In Table 1, a numerical value other than the melting point means wt. %.Note that, as Comparative Example 1, a commercially available candle wasused. The candle does not contain shea fat. The candle of ComparativeExample 1 had a melting point of 82° C. Using the candle of ComparativeExample 1, it was likely to burn hot when touched the skin. It isconsidered that the candle of Comparative Example 1 cannot be used formassage.

Comparative Example 2 did not solidify because the melting point of themixture was low. Therefore, it was not possible to obtain a waxcomponent even when the composition of Comparative Example 2 was used.

The candles for massage of Examples 1 to 7 had a suitable melting point.Obtaining massage oil from this candle and applying the oil to the skinresulted in good oil extension and easy massage.

On the other hand, the candle for massage of Example 8 could be used formassage, although the extension of the oil was not good.

[Test of Pain Relief Effects]

Next, the candle for massage of Example 1 and the massage oil ofComparative Example 2 were used to perform massage on the affected areaof the pain, and the effect of relieving the pain was evaluated. In thecandle for massage of Example 1, a melted liquid content (about 40° C.)was used by igniting the wick. The massage oil of Comparative Example 2was used at ambient temperatures. The evaluation was conducted byapplying the candle for massage of Example 1 to the right leg and themassage oil of Comparative Example 2 to the left leg of 5 subjects withmuscular pain in the calf of both legs, and asking whether the muscularpain of the left and right legs was relieved in each subject. As aresult, it was answered that the muscle pain was relieved in the rightleg (Example 1) compared with the left leg (Comparative Example 2) inall five patients. From this result, it has been found that by using thecandle for massage of the present invention, it is excellent in theeffect of relieving pain.

Next, a candle for massage (Example 9) in which 0.5 wt. % of cannabidiolwas added to the candle for massage of Example 1, and a candle formassage (Example 10) in which 2 wt. % of essential oil was added to thecandle for massage of Example 1 were prepared. These formulations areshown in Table 2 below.

TABLE 2 Composition of candle for massage of Examples Unit: wt. %Examples 9 10 Candle for massage of Example 1 99.5 98 Cannabidiol 0.5 —Essential oils Lavender oil — 2 Geranium oil Rosewood oil Grapefruitextract Rosemary oil Roman chamomile oil

Next, the candle for massage of Example 1 and the candle for massage ofExample 9 were evaluated in the same way by comparison for the effect ofrelieving pain. Both candles for massage were applied a fire on the wickand dissolved liquid content (approximately 40° C.) was used. Fivesubjects applied the candle for massage of Example 1 to the right legand the candle for massage of Example 9 to the left leg. As a result, 4out of 5 responded that the muscle pain was relieved in the left leg(Example 9) than in the right leg (Example 1). From this result, it wasconfirmed that the effect of relieving the pain was further improved byadding cannabidiol.

Further, the candle for massage of Example 1 and the candle for massageof Example 10 were compared and evaluated for the effect of relievingpain in the same ways. Both candles for massage were applied a fire onthe wick and dissolved liquid content (approximately 40° C.) was used.Five subjects applied the candle for massage of Example 1 to the rightleg and the candle for massage of Example 10 to the left leg. As aresult, 4 out of 5 responded that the muscle pain was relieved in theleft leg (Example 10) than in the right leg (Example 1). From thisresult, it was confirmed that the effect of relieving the pain wasfurther improved by adding the essential oil.

[Test on Changes in Basal Body Temperature]

Next, massage was performed using a candle for massage of Example 9 andan aroma oil of a commercial product, and a change in the base bodytemperature was evaluated. The evaluation method was as follows. Amassage using a candle for massage of Example 9 and a massage using aready-made aroma oil were applied to one subject for each for 4consecutive weeks of massage once a week. The candle for massage ofExample 9 was applied a fire on a wick and a dissolved liquid content(about 40° C.) was used. The ready-made aroma oil was used at atemperature of about 40° C. In the massage using the candle for massageof Example 9, a step of performing massage along the Ranger line wasperformed for 30 minutes, and then, a normal massage was performed for30 minutes. In the massage using the ready-made aroma oil, the normalmassage was performed for 60 minutes (2 times the same process as thenormal massage performed with the candle for massage of Example 1).

(Change in Body Surface Temperature by Thermography)

The body surface temperature was confirmed by thermography before andimmediately after massage treatment in each week. FIG. 2 shows a changein body surface temperature due to the treatment using the candle formassage of the present invention. FIG. 3 shows a change in body surfacetemperature due to the treatment using the aroma oil of theoff-the-shelf product. FIGS. 2 and 3 show thermography before massagetreatment (upper left) and after massage treatment (lower left) at thestart of treatment (Week 1), and before massage treatment (upper right)and after massage treatment (lower right) at 4 weeks after the start oftreatment. Looking at FIG. 2, it can be seen that the body surfacetemperature is increased both before and after the massage of thepresent invention in 4 weeks after the massage using the candle formassage of the present invention, as compared with the time when themassage is started. From these results, it is inferred that the body'sblood flow was improved and poor circulation was improved by the massageusing the candle for massage of the present invention. Furthermore, itcan be said that the constitution is changed to the constitution thatthe toxin in the body is easily excreted by the improvement of the bloodflow. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, even at the fourth weekafter the massage using the aroma oil of the ready-made product wasperformed, the body surface temperature was increased both before andafter the operation as compared with the time of the start of theoperation. However, the effect was small compared with the massage usingthe candle for massage of the present invention.

(Change in Basal Body Temperature Due to Treatment)

Before and after the massage using the candle for massage of the presentinvention, body temperature was measured using the basal thermometer.The body temperature was measured immediately after, 1 hour after, 2hours after, and 4 hours after the treatment. FIG. 4 is a graph showingchanges in body temperature before the treatment by treatment using thecandle for massage of the present invention. From this graph, it can beseen that the basal body temperature of the whole body before theoperation gradually rises each time the massage using the candle formassage of the present invention is repeated. From this result, it isinferred that poor circulation can be improved. FIG. 5 is a graphshowing changes in basal body temperature (before and 4 hours after theoperation) by the operation using the candle for massage of the presentinvention. From this graph, it can be seen that, after receiving amassage using a candle for massage of the present invention, the bodytemperature is increased even after the lapse of time. From this result,it can be understood that blood flow is improved after the massage, anda beautiful skin effect and a lean body effect are expected.
